IV − MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Can cause inju-
ry or death. Before attempting to per-
form any service or maintenance, turn
the electrical power to unit OFF at dis-
connect switch(es). Unit may have
multiple power supplies.
Maintenance and service must be performed by a qualified
installer or service agency. At the beginning of each cooling
season, the system should be checked as follows:
1. Clean and inspect outdoor coil. The coil may be flushed
with a water hose. Make sure power is off before clean-
ing.
The outdoor coil is protected by an inner mesh screen
and a wire cage (see figure 11).

FIGURE 11
If debris has collected between the mesh screen and
the coil and cannot be dislodged by spraying unpres-
surized water from inside coil surface to the outside, the
mesh may be removed by first removing the top of the
unit which will allow for removal of the wire cage.
Then, using pliers to grip the head of the push pins, pull
straight out to extract the push pins along one side of
the coil. If necessary, remove the push pins along the
back of the unit; it is usually unnecessary to fully re-
move the inner mesh screen.
Drape the mesh screen back and wash the coil. When
all the debris has been removed from the coil, reinstall
the mesh screen by positioning it in its original position
and reinserting the push pin. No tool is required to push
the pin back into the same slot in the fins.
If the push pin is loose and tends not to stay in place,
brush the fins with a fin brush (22 fins/in). Line up the
push pin a couple fins to the right or left of the original
hole and re−insert the pin.
2 − Condenser fan motor is prelubricated and sealed. No
further lubrication is needed.
3 − Visually inspect connecting lines and coils for evidence
of oil leaks.
4 − Check wiring for loose connections.
5 − Check for correct voltage at unit (unit operating).
6 − Check amp−draw condenser fan motor.

NOTE − If owner complains of insufficient cooling, the unit
should be gauged and refrigerant charge checked. Refer
to section on refrigerant charging in this instruction.
Indoor Coil
1 − Clean coil, if necessary.
2 − Check connecting lines and coils for evidence of oil
leaks.
3 − Check the condensate line and clean it if necessary.
Indoor Unit
1 − Clean or change filters.
2 − Adjust blower speed for cooling. Measure the pressure
drop over the coil to determine the correct blower CFM.
Refer to the unit information service manual for pressure
drop tables and procedure.

Check belt for wear and proper ten-
sion.
4 − Check all wiring for loose connections
5 − Check for correct voltage at unit (blower operating).
6 − Check amp−draw on blower motor
